Accelerated Quantity Surveying Career Pathway (AQSP)
Introducing Solomons
Accelerated Quantity
Surveying Pathway (AQSP)
WHAT IS QUANTITY SURVEYING?
The role of a Quantity Surveyor (QS) ultimately is to provide
financial support and contractual management to Clients.
To do this QS’s wear many hats; one minute their focus may
be Cost Engineering (Finance), the next it could be Contract
Management (Law), or Project Risk Analysis (Problem
Solving) and even Project Management (getting things
done, in the right way, at the right time!)
The roles are as varied as the projects themselves. At
Solomons Europe, our team of QS’s work on a range of
projects, from Nuclear, Renewable Energy, Highways, Rail,
Substations, Petrochemicals, Oil & Gas, to name only a few.
It’s exciting to follow a large project through from a drawing
on a sheet of paper to a fully functioning process facility!
Each project presents its own problems to solve, its own
challenges and risks, and the QS teams working on the
project will advise and consult with the Client on the best
solutions and options available to them, to ensure successful
and profitable completion.
Location: North West/ North East/ Cumbria
Employer: Solomons Europe
Salary: Starting from £14,000 per annum with
a yearly increase and £2000 car allowance
annually
Contract Type: Permanent, Full Time
Have you finished you’re A-Levels and are
unsure about your next step? Or maybe you
have recently graduated and are not sure
which path to take?
Perhaps you are looking for a complete career
change but the prospect of starting from
scratch is too daunting?
Why not consider a career in Quantity
Surveying within the Process & Engineering
Sector?
What is the Accelerated Quantity Surveying Career Pathway?
The Accelerated Quantity Surveying Career Pathway
(AQSP) is an alternative route to accessing a career in
Quantity Surveying. It is ideally suited to a range of
different people: from A - level students who don’t
want to incur student debt, but want a successful
career; to Graduates looking for a career route that
offers security, but with the chance to get out of
the office and see projects coming to life; to people
looking for a change of career, without the need to
start completely from scratch, but who can bring a
range of life skills and experiences with them…
Solomons Europe have developed an accelerated
programme that reduces the study time normally
required for a conversion to Quantity Surveying and
provides a combination of ‘On the Job’ training and
academic learning. The programme lasts a full 5 ½
years and will commence in October 2016.
